Just finished listening to 117 – great show as always. And I think you did a pretty fair job in your assessment of the US and our gun-fetish. I personally don’t get it myself, but those who like guns tend to get rather … possessive of them. And the thought of losing their firearms, or even losing the right to buy bullets who’s popular name is “cop killers” is akin to removing their cock with rusty grapefruit knives.

This country is nothing if not contradictory, and I do love it for that, but I do worry about it. Thanks to the current group of idiots I’ve given up thoughts of travelling freely around the world until I develop a good Canadian accent. Someday though.

“I Don’t Like Mondays” banned in the US? Nope, was quite popular actually, esp. here in Southern California were the incident that inspired the song took place. An urban legend, perhaps?

We don’t usually ban music here – First Amendment and all that. Music is suppressed if it violates copyright blah blah blah, but you know that. Even Ice T/Bodycounts’ “Cop Killer” was reinstated on the album after the furor died down.

Really great podcast!
Some really twisted shit in there, very fitting for the theme. I was half expecting to hear some Marylin Manson mash up too. I must say, this is the first time I’ve experienced breakcore as light relief. I didn’t know that about “I Don’t Like Mondays” either, so chilling.

What Time Is It?

Radio Clash was probably the longest continuously running music podcast (it ran 10 years from Nov 2004 to Nov 2014) and one of the first music podcasts in the UK.
Originally only about mashup culture, but since extended to a live music station and blog which are very much still alive, talking about politics, sex, drugs and rock and roll. All posts are probably at least a little bit NSFW, because if it's that safe, then why post it?
